Jessica Alba turns the table on a reporter; claims she has a blog

Jessica Alba has never been a fan of the paparazzi. In fact she’s been known to go off on them and generally freak out in their direction whenever possible. And while a little of that is understandable, generally speaking she takes it to a new level, and has insighted a lot of internet hatred for it. Last night Jessica decided to turn the table on a reporter who was asking her questions she didn’t want to answer. When he said he didn’t think he should answer her political questions, she told him to be neutral like Sweden.

It’s a blessing Jessica Alba made a career out of wearing bathing suits and spandex in terrible movies, because homegirl would’ve made a horrible and embarrassing journalist. (Although her bank account probably isn’t crying any tears she chose “acting”)

At some Inaugural party in D.C., (where thankfully Alba knew it was Obama she was supporting) she tried to get all Snarky McSnark on a journalist who just wanted a low-maintenance sound bite from the actress. Check out the video on TMZ.com here.

Instead she cut him off immediately and said: “Can I ask you a question? This is for my blog.” and whipped out her phone and started taping. (Jessica Alba has a blog? HA!)

“What do you think is Barack’s greatest characteristic going into office?” she said.

When the shaken journalist said it was probably best he didn’t answer — seeing as he’s on the clock and all — Alba tried to make a funny and said:

“Be neutral! Be Sweden about it!”

The journalist was a gentleman and too polite to bother correcting her, but we’re not. It’s Switzerland, Jessica. Switzerland. In her defense, both countries do start with the letter “S” and they’re both in Europe. At least she didn’t say Sudan. Or Singapore.

A Socialite’s Life quickly cleared up their error in thinking that Jessica should have said the more commonly referenced Switzerland, because Sweden was also neutral during World War II. So instead of initially thinking Jessica made a major blunder, she actually should be getting some serious points for remembering – and referencing - something a lot of us forget.

I’m really curious about this supposed blog she has. Something tells me it was more a quick invention to prove her point than anything she’s actually planning on creating. While I hate to say it, Jessica Alba is growing on me in little bits.
